So the imagination is a force of nature [to quote Wallace Stevens].

How is the future predicated on this power?

The imagination is a possible future. Particle physics operates on possibility.

We live in the abstract world. Our bodies are on loan. Yet our brains, made of matter, power the imagination.

Brain power obviously affects the universe, but we're not yet sure how. How is it that the brain uses light, interprets light, thinks faster than light?

So how does the imagination power the future? [This must mean that I take on faith that imagination powers the future.]

But only the Now exists.

So what is this future?

It is a semi-plasma. It almost exists. Possibility exists. And the world is always becoming.

Simpleton that I am I can not figure out the mechanics of it all...but I can attest from personal experience that I am effecting my reality constantly merely by thinking about it. Actually, it is more than just thinking about it...there is an energetic investment involved somehow.

If infinite possibility exists, and our minds in conjunction with the five senses act as a filter, then perhaps the idea of thought being faster than light is not even the point...omnipresence negates the idea of speed since it is measured from "here" to "there."

Just a few random thoughts.
